We asked Greenville-Spartanburg Airport Commission President & CEO
Dave Edwards
HOW DOES AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT STRENGTHEN GREENVILLE?
The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) is key to the economic vitality of Greenville and the Upstate. GSP’s annual economic impact for the Upstate is estimated at almost $400 million, including over 3,600 jobs. GSP is an essential element for the growth of existing business and recruitment of new business. The ability for companies to do business in this global economy requires air transportation that is competitive and easily accessible, and GSP continues to position itself to deliver world-class aviation services. As Greenville becomes more of a destination market, GSP will provide the leisure traveler with the opportunity to experience a community that is fun, exciting and entertaining. GSP helps Greenville grow business, which increases jobs and creates a better quality of life for its citizens.
